About this module
Working at heights is a very common activity that takes place at some stage in most workplaces and homes. In many cases, we don't even consider the dangers, but if we are not careful, working at heights can result in serious injuries and, in extreme cases, fatalities. This module covers the risks, controls and safety measures involved when working on stairs, steps, and ladders. It is designed to help you understand the dangers of working at heights by being familiar with strategies to eliminate or reduce the chances of an accident.
